Further Details
- Why do we stay in Jerusalem? Checking in and out of hotels is a hassle, adding time and extra cost to the trip. Israel is a small country and the first/last stop on each day is no more than 90 minutes from Jerusalem. Being based in Jerusalem gives you access to countless great restaurants or leisure options in the evenings, and more flexibility than being in a remote hotel.
- Price per person including airport transfer on arrival, guiding, transportation, accommodation and breakfast based on a four star hotel. Dinner available for extra supplement.
- Tour begins with airport pickup or pickup from your address in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem
- Tour is available starting every Thursday of the year
- Order of days is subject to change. The tour to Masada and Dead Sea might be self-guided, depending on departure date.
- Accommodation is based on two people sharing in a double room. For those traveling alone, single supplement is $50 per night. Triple rooms are also available.
- In high season times accommodation in Jerusalem can be exchanged with accommodation in Bethlehem
and a high season supplement might apply.
